When you start Windows Live Messenger (WLM), an error pops up saying something like Windows Live Messenger has stopped working and windows is trying to find a solution.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling WLM, restoring my system and a few other methods but all to no vail.

After googling for a while, finally i found a solution that works like a charm!

1. Click RUN from START menu and type REGEDIT2. Follow the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/MSNMessenger/PerPassportSettings.3. Under PerPassportSettings, delete all the subfolders in it.4. Restart Messenger.

* I believe the above problem occurs after signing in to Messenger from more than 1 location. In my case, i forgot to logout from ebuddy while i signed in to my WLM.
